La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[piebeyb]

Today in La Liga there are four games going on and I will focus on watching Barcelona's game at home to Elche because that game is the next opportunity for Barcelona to continue to build on the points gap with Real Madrid. Why do I say that, because Elche has never tasted victory when they met Barcelona in all competitions which are held in Spain on average.

This is certainly not surprising because every result of the previous meeting for these two teams has been presented neatly through H2H and today is the day when Barcelona will take full points again to increase the gap in the standings with Real Madrid, because with Barcelona having more points in the remaining matches this season, it will accelerate Barcelona to celebrate the championship this season, especially in La Liga even though in the Copa Del Rey Barcelona also still have the opportunity to celebrate if they can beat Real Madrid.

If you look at some media that Xavi Hernandez seems to have confirmed four pillars will be absent in the match against Elche. Pedri, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie De Jong, and Ousmane Dembele still have not recovered from their respective injuries.

Barcelona needs to maximize the match against Elche later to get 3 points and I think Xavi can overcome this so that Barcelona can get full points in the match later. Moreover, there will be a second leg match of the Copa del Rey semifinal round against Real Madrid in the middle of next week. However, Xavi is still trying to be optimistic to restore the key players before El Clasico.

I don't feel that Barcelona will miss these players against Elche today, this game is not a big one for Barcelona and they should beat Elche even without these players, i know that sometimes in football the team you think do not have any chance of winning can surprise everyone, but i am sure it is not going to happen today in Elche v Barcelona. Look at Elche's statistics on the La Liga table, they are 20th, and have won only 2 matches in La Liga this season, they are surely going to lose to Barcelona today and would be relegated at the end of the La Liga season.

Real madrid next match may be a walk over for them since the club standing against them is weak and could not meat up to them in any way, but then there must be prepared so that there would be taken unaware and end up losing to a sopusely small clubs.

Valladolid are only occasionally able to get good results and even that happened more than a decade ago and they are almost certain to lose every time they face Real Madrid so it shouldn't be difficult for Real Madrid to get 3 points even though the chance to overtake Barca looks impossible but that's no reason for them not to consider this match important and win with a convincing score.

The Valladolid team is not strong. At the same time, I will say that this is Madrid's home match. Home Real Madrid is always very strong. Valladolid is unlikely to win. Unless a miracle happens, Madrid is going to get an easy win in this match. The teams will play after a break of about two weeks. And Ancelotti is still trying to win the La Liga title. And if they want to win the La Liga title, Madrid needs to earn full points in every match. Madrid is already far behind Barcelona. If Upcoming wins every match, maybe Madrid will close the points gap with Barcelona.

Playing at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid must earn full points. They have to beat Valladolid, who are still scattered at the bottom of the board. Playing at home, Madrid should be able to do it. In terms of the quality of the players, it is certain that Madrid will win easily. But will Ancelotti lower his core squad in this match? because Madrid must save more energy to face a crucial match in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey. Meanwhile, reaching the La Liga title is no longer possible because the distance in points with Barcelona is very far.

In this game, Real Madrid plays at home and they can get benefits from the fans they have also since they had a good performance recently I guess a team like Valladolid won't be a hard opponent for them. However, Real Madrid was disappointed by La Liga but they still try to get the full points to want for Barcelona to make a mistake. Also, after this game they are going to have El Clasico, that's why the result of this game can be very important for Real Madrid.

Playing away will give disadvantage to the valladolid. Bookies were even seeing about how easy valladolid is for real madrid. The odds make me think that if real madrid is farrrr above valladolid. Valladolid is also having a bad record against real madrid. I would not be surprised if real madrid will able to beat valladolid easily. Real madrid was getting clean sheet against valladolid last year. I would not be surprised to see real madrid will be doing the same as last year.

The same thing gonna happen when barcelona will face elche as well. Elche is the weakest team in la liga. Even if barcelona will be playing without some key players and that will mean nothing for barcelona as the club will be winning the game against elche.

There will be no change in the standing for this week. Barcelona and real madrid likely to get full points from their opponents. Easy money for us? Yes

Barcelona had bad days recently and that's mostly because of the bad financial situation they have, they are going to sell Gavi soon because of his salary and other young players like Fati have the same situation which can have a negative effect on Barcelona's atmosphere. but on the other hand in Real Madrid can't use Mendy for this El classic because he got injured, I guess this Elcalssi can be more interesting than the last three games we saw.

Financial conditions make it difficult for Barcelona to bring in new players next season, especially Gavi who cannot be registered with the senior team due to the salary restrictions they are currently facing in La Liga and even if Gavi has to leave Barcelona, it is not because they sold him but Gavi has a status free transfers.

Barcelona will face Elche and Real Madrid will face Real Valladolid this week, although this is not a difficult match for both of them, I think they need points, so Barcelona and Real Madrid have to play more solidly. El Clasico is only a few days away, so it's too early for us to discuss.

Yes, Barcelona's biggest problem right now is financial problems plus other bad news because Barcelona is in danger of losing Pablo Gavi at the end of this season. This happened because the Barcelona team's appeal was rejected by the court. Which makes Pablo Gavi a free transfer status.

Barcelona will face Elche and Real Madrid will face Real Valladolid this week, although this is not a difficult match for both of them, I think they need points, so Barcelona and Real Madrid have to play more solidly. El Clasico is only a few days away, so it's too early for us to discuss.

I think Barcelona and Real Madrid will have no problem continuing the league this week, especially since the opponents they face are weak. Even though they (Real Madrid) have no hope of catching up to Barcelona's points, the match between the two teams in the league is very important to boost the team's confidence ahead of El Clasico leg 2 of the Copa Del Rey later.

Bilbao vs Getafe

Getafe are really required the points because their position on standings league isn't fully secured but i think this team has showing good performance recently because in Laliga Getafe has gets 2 wins and 1 draws without lose but Bilbao too finally has ended their poor results by win from Valladolid on their recent match so interesting to watched who is the winner of this match because both teams had different target

For teams conditions i can see all players from both teams in the good shape and for Bilbao probably Gorka Guruzeta will be played again because he has good contribution recently and for Getafe they probably will played again Enes Unal for front lines however considering Getafe recent performance is more better than Bilbao i think they have potention to stole points from home team especially Bilbao home matches records also doesn't really good so i expect to draw for this match and this picked has odds @3.50

in the last 7 matches played by Getafe, the results are not too bad. they only experienced one defeat, three draws and 3 of them won. however, the ranking they currently occupy is not so secure, being in 13th place makes them have to work hard to increase their ranking, because they are only 3 points away from Valencia and Almeria, which occupy the relegation zone. which means, Getafe must get full points against Ath.Bilbao. even though this match is an away match, it will not stop Shanchez Flores' squad from performing optimally.

On the other hand, Bilbao's performance has recently been in a not-so-good phase. in the last 5 matches in La Liga, they have lost four times, drawn one and just won against Valladolid. in this match, Ernesto Valverde will optimize his team to win the match against his opponent. yes, three points is a mandatory result to reduce the points distance from Villarreal. plus, maintaining the ranking they occupy for now. this fight should be Bilbao's advantage. because, they will play at their own headquarters. it's just that, Getafe won't let that go easily, especially if I refer to the predicted line-up that Getafe will use with a defensive formation pattern. But my estimation, this match will be quite tough. but I'm sure, Bilbao will win this battle even with a thin score difference.

However, Real Madrid was disappointed by La Liga but they still try to get the full points to want for Barcelona to make a mistake. Also, after this game they are going to have El Clasico, that's why the result of this game can be very important for Real Madrid.

The next le classico will be the last el classico for this season. That's very important caused by the winner from next match will be having big chance to take the copa del rey trophy. This gonna be a very important match for ancellotti. i think that ancellotti will be fully focusing to this match. Benzema will be fully playing but the only thing that must become a home work for ancelotti is about how he will able to break the defensive strategy that used by barcelona.

Barcelona is always consistently used 4-3-3 against real madrid with fully defensive. The big challenge for madrid face the formation that used by barcelona.

Girona managed to secure full points at home after beating Espanyol with a score of 2-1. Seeing the statistics of the two Girona teams really dominated the match, but a new goal was created in the second half. Girona took the lead first through a goal scored by Castellanos in the 53rd minute and 20 minutes later Espanyol managed to equalize through a goal by Braithwaite. Both teams played very fiercely and produced 2 red cards for each player from the team. But towards the end of the match Girona was awarded a penalty kick and at the same time closed the victory for Girona.

[tulusikhlas]

Girona managed to win their match against Espanyol in a match that just finished. It was seen that they controlled the game even though Espanyol tried to make the match end in a draw. but the goal that Girona created in the 88th minute through the penalty spot eliminated the visitors' hopes of being able to bring home at least 1 point in this match. This match was marked by 2 red cards which each team received 1 red card.

statistically, Girona is better. they control the game. they took 14 shots although only 4 were on target. but at the moment they are winning, although it leaves work for their forward line to be sharper.
such a tough fight with 2 red cards and 6 yellow cards. Girona managed to secure 3 points at home and that was very valuable for them to stay in the middle of the table.

There was many cards in this match including 2 red cards. Girona dominated the game, scored first then received a goal before leading again. The goal scored by a penalty at the last minute of the match saved them. Espanyol continued its bad results and that's the fourth defeat in row for them..
Bilbao - Getafe match started 15 minutes ago and the result is still 0 - 0.

If not for that later penalty awarded to Girona the game was suppose to be drawn
That was worth the penalty call
It's a good win for the fans and the players ass they approch a strong season forward

[Docnaster]

Girona's winning was sure cuz they dominated from the first half,  both in possession and attempt. But it's quite saddening that Espanyol has missed yet another Chance of overthrowing Getafe from the 13th position. After Reiner's red-card, I was thinking Espanyol will take advantage and try to score enough goals but they ended up Getting a red card too.
Espanyol made No single on-target attempt from the first half and succeeded making just one attempt in the second half and was lucky to have a goal from it.

Girona won the game but it doesn't mean Espanyol was a weak team today. Espanyol had a bad performance, especially in the first half and they had less control over the game compared to Girona, they let Girona use the specs and they used the chances they had. Girona scored the first goal and after Espanyol lost one player in the second half due to a red card, Girona scored the second goal and won the game.

Cadiz against Sevilla will soon start. This was Mendilibar's debut match in charge of Sevilla as Sampaoli was previously the target of sacking after Sevilla failed to improve.
Now this could also determine whether Sevilla and Mendilibar are able to improve their performance which is currently in a decline because if you look at the conditions if they lose again in this match technically the problem is not the coach but the mentality of the players.

My prediction was correct in this match and I won the bet. Still I'd say Girona were lucky so they won. Winning this match was not easy for Girona.
In this match I consider Girona as the favorite because Espanyol have not been in good form recently. They have lost all their last four matches. Espanyol's overall condition is weak. On the other hand, Girona's performance is erratic but their performance is quite strong compared to Espanyol. Today's match was likely to be a draw. Because Espanyol tried their best to draw the match. They don't attack much. They played defensively. But Girona tried hard to break down Espanyol's defence. And GIrona won the match 2-1 by scoring from a penalty chance in the 88th minute.

Match just started. Both teams are equally strong in this match.  And the performance of both their teams is expected to be equal so maybe the match can be a 1-1 draw. But if the question arises that if any team wins then which team has more chances. then I would say Sevilla. If you look at the previous matches, it can be seen that the number of wins of Sevilla is slightly higher than that of Cadiz. So in that case it is natural that the hope will be towards Sevilla. So now we cannot guarantee any result until the game is over. Let's enjoy the match

Real Madrid are going to have one of the easiest fixtures for them on this week. They should be able to beat Valladolid in Santiago Bernabeu without having serious problems. Bookmakers must be thinking the same as well because their odd for the win is very low. It isn't worth adding to a betslip actually. Instead it seems like it would be better to bet on a win by a big gap for them.
They don't have much chance left for the league title maybe but I still expect them to play solidly in this game. They should make up for the El Clasico loss.

Real Madrid are very set to win this match, because they don't want anything that will make them to draw any match or lose any match in their remaining matches than to apply their new strategy to maintain the second position till they meet Barcelona for final. I don't think, Valladolid have strong players that can stop Real Madrid not to achieve victory from this match because Real Madrid players are well prepared to make their game positive in a way their fans will have full confident about their dream in this season. I will predict for the favour of Real Madrid to defeat Valladolid 2-0 to improve their points.

Real Madrid will definitely continue to try to win the La Liga title. But they are now 12 points behind Barcelona. After being so far behind, the chances of winning the title are slim. However, I think Ancelotti will continue to try. However, Valladolid is a weak team. Real Madrid will not drop points against a team like Valladolid unless their goal is to win the title. I have never seen Madrid lose against Valladolid. Madrid has won their last four matches against Valladolid. In 2019, there was a 1-1 draw between these two teams. Madrid's past record against Valladolid is very good. Moreover, the match is going to be held at Madrid's home. Madrid is always favorites at home.

There is no time to think about Real Madrid left behind Barcelona. I think Ancelotti thinks more about the UCL
Even if Real Madrid has consistent win in the remain match, Barcelona certainly will not remain silent
La Liga is Barcelona's only hope and it must be the motivation for the players not to lose in the upcoming match

Wow, I just found out about the dismissal of the coach and recruiting a new coach at Sevilla, this news is not high enough to have fans when compared to Bayern Munich recruiting Tuchel. To be honest, I personally don't know much about Jose Mendilibar because Jose Mendilibar has never coached top teams and in fact, Jose Mendilibar previously coached Alaves, Eibar, Levante, Osasuna, Real Valladolid, Bilbao and there are several other teams.

With a record like that, I personally really doubt the quality of Jose Mendilibar because Sevilla is one of the top teams in La Liga. Also, Sevilla is still playing in the Europa League and with the appointment of Jose Mendilibar as head coach of Sevilla, I'm starting to doubt that Sevilla might still find it difficult to get good results in every match, including this match against Cadiz.
